McDermott answers why we stopped uptempo offense

I think they sent McDermott out there and he had to cover for Dorsey because he’s getting one more week to turn it around. That’s the only way that these comments make sense.

The players are going to quit on this guy.

Unbelievable.

They will if they lose on Monday night.

End of the game, they show Josh and Burrow shaking hands, and Josh covers his mouth to say something.  If anyone has a photo, would be a great “caption this”.

Maybe McD can call the offense and defense on gamedays?? 😂😂

Make of this what you will.

 

 

Mods if this belongs in another thread, please feel free to merge it. I didn’t know where this exactly fits in.


I would have much preferred and likely  defended “The defense of as struggling after a few long drives in a row. We really wanted to give them some time to catch our breath, regroup, and come back out on the field fresh and strong”.

I presume the next question was "Why?" Did he have an answer to that or will he have to get back to us?

The answer to why is "we are looking for ways to keep the DC from getting embarrassed. The defense couldn't get off the field, and we needed someone to do something to give the defense a rest. So we took the offense out of its rythym to rest the defense.  I did not consider at the time, that the team with the most points at the end of the game wins"

I believe continuity is essential for long term success, and while I've been on board with getting rid of our coordinators (Frasier, Dorsey 🙏), I've been patient with McDermott because I think he's a good coach.

 

But the more I read things like this; the more comfortable I'm getting sacking him at the end of the season.  I believe his skill set might be better suited to turning around dumpster fire teams and not for bringing a team from good to great.

 

Of course who do we replace him with?  It might take him a while, but maybe he's the next Andy Reid, Sean Peyton or Tony Dungy... All good coaches that it took many years to to win a SB.

 

If it is time for a change, then I hope we can find the right person to bring us to the promise land.  I also like Beane, but don't know how it would play out if Sean were to get canned.  Technically, they both report to TP and presumably McD could be fired while BB retained.

I retract my earlier prediction of wins.

 

Time to cut ties with Dorsey and McD.... my God.

This reminds me of Gailey’s “it was his turn” comment (ie an explanation that isn’t really an explanation).

Does he just not have permission to fire his OC so he's wording his way around it? Because this doesn't exactly match up.

This is how I feel. People want to argue if he's a good or bad coach. Is Belichick really the best coach of all time? No. He's the best coach of all time at keeping a Super Bowl contender grounded and motivated. That's not his job anymore and it's not McD's job to turn around a bad team and establish a culture of winning. It's to win a Super Bowl. This doesn't invalidate what he did well here. He is a good coach. It's just time for us to move on.
